Excerpt from Tracing Sand Movement in the Littoral Zone: Progress in the Radioisotopic Sand Tracer (Rist) Study; July, 1968-February, 1969 Studies at Surf, California, indicate that sand labeled with the radioisotope of gold 198-199 provides much more data for analysis of sediment movement than does sand labeled with xenon-133. Surveys con ducted confirm that, in response to any given set of wave conditions, a very different rate of sediment movement occurs in the zones between the high water line and -15 feet mean lower ...

Excerpt from Tracing Sand Movement in the Littoral Zone: Progress in the Radioisotopic Sand Tracer (Rist) Study; July, 1968-February, 1969 Studies at Surf, California, indicate that sand labeled with the radioisotope of gold 198-199 provides much more data for analysis of sediment movement than does sand labeled with xenon-133. Surveys con ducted confirm that, in response to any given set of wave conditions, a very different rate of sediment movement occurs in the zones between the high water line and -15 feet mean lower low water; Because of these differences, tracing surveys confined solely to the foreshore or offshore zone produce data only partially indicative of transport in the zone of immediate concern to coastal engineers. While an accurate determination of sediment drift volume remains illusive, qualitative data on sediment movement useful for engineering purposes can be obtained on a scale heretofore unattainable.
